SUMMARY:Giants of Time: The Myth\, Mystique\, and Climate Power of the Redwood Forests
DESCRIPTION:Towering\, ancient\, and awe-inspiring\, redwood forests are more than natural wonders—they are living models of climate resilience\, biodiversity\, and long-term stewardship. Join us for an engaging evening with Sam Hodder\, former President and CEO of Save the Redwoods League\, for a wide-ranging conversation on why redwoods matter now more than ever. \nDrawing on more than three decades of leadership in land conservation\, Sam will explore what makes redwoods so extraordinary—from their remarkable biology and longevity to their outsized role in addressing the climate crisis and wildfire resilience. \nSam Hodder brings rare perspective to this conversation. Over a 33-year career in nonprofit land conservation\, including nearly 12 years leading Save the Redwoods League where he helped permanently protect more than 25\,000 acres of redwood forest\, launched California’s most ambitious redwood restoration effort\, and advanced groundbreaking research on redwoods and climate change. \nThis  event\, brought to you by Telluride Science and Telluride Foundation is free and open to the public\, but RSVP is required HERE. \n

SUMMARY:Energy 2.0: Exploring the Potential of Thermal Energy Networks
DESCRIPTION:What are Thermal Energy Networks (TENs)? Why are they important\, and why should we care? \nIn our region\, heating buildings is both expensive and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. While geothermal systems are not new\, networked geothermal is a new approach — one that is gaining popularity as a strategy to heat and cool buildings at low cost and high efficiency. \nPlease join us for a panel discussion with several national experts to learn about the topic and how using TENS can effectively decarbonize buildings and reduce carbon emissions. \nIn partnership with EcoAction Partners\, Cornet Creek Foundation\, and Telluride Foundation. \nFree and open to the public
